Devi Green Tara is the most popular of the twenty-two manifestations of Devi Tara (together with Devi White Tara).
Identified as the twenty-second Devi of the pantheon, Her name is Khadiravani because She belongs to and is the saviouress of the acacia (khadira) forest (vana).
As could be seen in this brass murti, She is a stately yogini with a form as tall and slender as befits a Mahayana bodhisattva. An unmistakable part of the Emerald Tara iconography is the right foot resting on the stigma of a lotus flower.
The one in this composition has been carved out of the lotus pedestal on which She is seated, its leaf-laden stem curving down the frontal midline. She is in a robe of bejewelled crimson and aquamarine, set off by deep blue sashes of delicate fabric floating about Her torso.
In addition to the sashes, the luxuriant stems of verdure blooming on either side of Her, the kundalas (danglers) in Her karna (ears), and the wisps of vine that frame Her face are examples of symmetry. A gorgeous crown sits on the shining black locks of the beauteous Emerald Tara.
Quintessential to the iconography of Tibetan Buddhist deities, it is an intricately carved five-spired number. The same is studded with the finest emeralds, rubies, and sapphires that convey the glory of the Khadiravani Bodhisattva. A pale ruby on Her fair brow is indicative of the Enlightened status of the Bodhisattva’s being.
How to keep a Brass statue well-maintained?
Brass statues are known and appreciated for their exquisite beauty and luster. The brilliant bright gold appearance of Brass makes it appropriate for casting aesthetic statues and sculptures. Brass is a metal alloy composed mainly of copper and zinc. This chemical composition makes brass a highly durable and corrosion-resistant material. Due to these properties, Brass statues and sculptures can be kept both indoors as well as outdoors. They also last for many decades without losing all their natural shine.
Brass statues can withstand even harsh weather conditions very well due to their corrosion-resistance properties. However, maintaining the luster and natural beauty of brass statues is essential if you want to prolong their life and appearance.
In case you have a colored brass statue, you may apply mustard oil using a soft brush or clean cloth on the brass portion while for the colored portion of the statue, you may use coconut oil with a cotton cloth.
Brass idols of Hindu Gods and Goddesses are especially known for their intricate and detailed work of art. Nepalese sculptures are famous for small brass idols portraying Buddhist deities. These sculptures are beautified with gold gilding and inlay of precious or semi-precious stones. Religious brass statues can be kept at home altars. You can keep a decorative brass statue in your garden or roof to embellish the area and fill it with divinity.
